Pleasant Hill’s city clerk no longer works for city

Pleasant Hill’s City Clerk/Finance Director Susan Mahannah no longer works for the eastern Polk County community. Mahannah’s employment with the city ended effective Oct. 11, city officials said Wednesday.

City Manager Don Sandor gave no details regarding the reason for her departure, saying he could not comment on it because it was a personnel matter.

Mahannah said late Wednesday afternoon there are no pending investigations into her conduct as a city employee. But she declined to comment on any reasons for her employment termination, instead referring questions to City Attorney Ed Skinner.

Skinner and Police Chief Tim Sittig both said there have been no allegations of misconduct or investigations launched surrounding Mahannah’s roles with the city.

Mahannah was hired by the city as deputy clerk in July 2010. She was appointed as City Clerk/Finance Director in 2011.

City Council members will take action to appoint Steve Johns as interim city clerk at their Oct. 22 meeting, Sandor said.
